UAE reassures Iran over ‘US spying’ report

DUBAI: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has reassured Iran that it will not allow the US to use its territory to spy on the Islamic Republic as Tehran faces mounting pressure over its atomic programme.

During a visit to Iran on Tuesday, UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahayan denied receiving any request to set up such an office and said that his country was keen to maintain regional stability and peace.

"The UAE has not received any request from the US to open such an office," the official Wam news agency quoted Sheikh Abdullah as saying in Tehran.

"I believe there is confusion or a misunderstanding over this matter. All embassies and consulates in the UAE abide by conventions that regulate diplomatic ties," he added in comments also carried by local newspapers yesterday.

Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Hosseini said in November that the US was setting up an office in Dubai, and that Tehran intended to "protest and undertake necessary measures to prevent the UAE from becoming a base for America’s hostile measures against the Iranian nation."

A UAE official said after the comments that the Iran monitoring desk was part of the US consulate in Dubai and that no new Iran monitoring offices had been set up.

"We may have differences in views and over some issues here and there but such differences will not turn into enmity," Sheikh Abdullah said.
